The same preoccupation in both: flat

The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.

Darkly funny comedy in both cases

The difference: Not nearly as contemplative as Carnage

🍅 95%6.8drama · fantasy · comedy

Drama built on stillness, twice over

The difference: Leans harder into fantasy than Carnage does

A reflection on human life in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality, guided by a Scheherazade-esque narrator. Inconsequential moments have the same significance as historical events. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence.

Both lean on dark humor more than on comedy
